Classic, fresh, spicy.
Consistently a classic example of Cabernet Franc, this Les Epinats 2017 is leaner than last vintage, offering red currents and cranberry, green peppercorns and fresh herbs, with spice and bacon fat. It's medium-bodied, fresh and spicy with flavours of tealeaf, tart red fruit and mixed greens.
A wine made better with food and with a slight chill.

Classic, fresh, savoury.
Consistently a classic example of Cabernet Franc, this Les Epinats 2018 is riper than the previous vintage and suggests smoked plums and ripe cherry, baking spice, white pepper, cocoa, grilled andouillette, leather and tealeaf. The palate is a muddle of red fruits cocoa, spice and savoury/salty flavours. Good length and freshness; starting to show tertiary flavours.

Charming, pristine, consistent.
Consistently a stunning example of Cabernet Franc.
The Les Epinats doles out pristine aromas of sweet summer berries and freshly picked red grapes, before rolling into savoury notes of leather, cocoa, spice and bacon fat. It has an umami character on the palate, which mimics the nose. It is medium-bodied with high-toned and juicy fruit flavours, which trail into fine spice on the finish. Tannins are powdery but textural and it boasts wonderful levity; a wine made even better with food
